Targeting Ferroptosis to Iron Out Cancer.

TL;DR: The identification of FDA-approved drugs as ferroptosis inducers creates high expectations for the potential of ferroPTosis to be a new promising way to kill therapy-resistant cancers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanisms of ferroptosis

TL;DR: Outstanding questions include the relationship between ferroPTosis and other forms of cell death, and whether activation or inhibition of ferroptosis can be exploited to achieve desirable therapeutic ends.
